The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A cornerstone of Gevrey-Chambertin, Estate Henri Rebourseau boasts one of the region’s most enviable collections of vineyards, with nearly every Grand Cru you could hope for. Over the years, it has won over Burgundy lovers with wines that capture flawless fruit expression in the purest Burgundian tradition.

Backed by the Bouygues family yet still run by its historic owners, the estate has taken a giant leap forward, embracing a profound transformation in both scale and style.

The vineyards are now being converted to biodynamics, a gleaming new winery has been built, and state-of-the-art equipment allows for gentle gravity-flow handling. Ageing has been reimagined, and the wines are more precise, more concentrated, and more true to their origins than ever before. This deep overhaul has catapulted the estate onto the same level as Burgundy’s most revered names.
Wine Set just behind Mazis-Chambertin on a north-facing plot at the mouth of the Lavaux combe, the 2023 Red Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Fonteny delivers a wine of remarkable finesse and beautifully polished tannins. Its delicate, tea-like style rests on a pure, dense core, lifted by oak ageing that adds just the right touch of subtle toast and spice. Fresh, elegant, and effortlessly refined, this is a bottle that will reward a bit of patience in the cellar. Rated 94/100 by the Selection Committee.
